How come a mother is over protective of her son?

: How come a mother is over protective of her son?
I am talking about gender stereotypes. Then again regardless of a child’s gender of course any good parents would care about their kid anyways. But I mean, Why is it generalized that a mother’s son is her pride and joy. Sort of like how a father is over protective of her daughter. I have a mother like that. I’m 18 and I can’t date a girl without my mom getting too personal,I think I’m bisexual. My mom flips over that. She is pretty much always in my life.

Get outta there. Mothers are worse if you are their only son. Get an education and then move out.
